About Sri Ram

Sri Ram - the lifeline of Hindus and most popular of all deities was the seventh incarnation of Vishnu. A great warrior, ideal king & ideal son's purpose was to show how people should act in life. To set an inspiration among all, Sri Ram took avatar with limitations as a human. Ram has to undergo pain, fear and desperation to set an example of how patienly we can overcome it following dharma. Still in India, Sri Ram is recited from greetings to death rituals of a person. Sri Ram is religiously followed all over in Hinduism.

The Story of Sri Ram

Sri Ram, An Avatar of Vishnu was born in Treta Yug in Ayodhya province as the son of Dashrath & Kaushalya. Dashrath has three queen consorts - Kaushalya, Sumitra & Kaikeyi & four child - Ram, Laxman, Bharat & Shatrughan. After there marriage, Dashrath thought to crown Ram but Kaikeyi reminded Dashrath of two boons and asked him to crown his son Bharat & banish Ram on exile. The story of Ram is about the exile with his consort Sita & Laxman. Ravana - the demon king abducted Sita, Ram met Hanuman & formed an army to conquer Ravana & got back his wife Sita. They all returned to Ayodhya & Ram become the righteous King. Still today the Ram's empire (Ram Rajya) is hailed and Ram has become an eternal lifeline for all the race. The Story of Ram is mainly mentioned in great epics - Ramayana & Ramcharitmanas. The legend of Sri Ram is deeply influential and popular in the societies of the Indian subcontinent and across South East Asia.

Hinduism - A way of life

Hinduism is a dominant & the oldest religion of faith in South Asia, mostly India and Nepal. More than religion, it is a way of living. Many philosophies, many traditions, many Gods, many languages, numerous casts, creeds but Unity in Diversity - Vasudev Kutumbakam. Hinduism is a practice & main religion is referred as 'Sanatana Dharma' - The Eternal Law of Righteousness. This law suggests finding the truth within, self-realization & seeking wisdom. Hinduism is sometimes called "Framework of Spirituality", "Mother of all religions" as we can see all other religions are virtually influenced.

As per the Hindu philosophy, universe undergoes regular creation and destruction. Hence Space & Time are of cyclic nature. Everything is constantly changing and every creation will be destroyed. Birth of Universe is Brahma, followed by Life as Vishnu and Death as Shiva. Om (ॐ) is the first sound & origin of all creation.

Quran Surah 21 - Al-Anbiya' (The Prophets)

Ayat 1 - NEAR HAS COME the reckoning for men, but
they turn away in remissness.

Ayat 2 - Never does a new reminder come to them from
their Lord but they listen to it with dalliance.

Ayat 3 - Their minds are lost in frivolous pastimes;
and the evil-doers discuss secretly: "Is he not but only a man like you? Then why are you taken in by magic seeingly?"

Ayat 4 - He said: "My Lord knows whatever is spoken
in the heavens and the earth. He hears all and knows everything."

Ayat 5 - Yet they say: "These are only confused
dreams," or rather: "He has invented them;" or: "He is only a poet. Let him therefore bring a miracle to us as the earlier
(apostles) were sent with."

Ayat 6 - Not one habitation that We destroyed before
them had believed. So how can they believe?

Ayat 7 - Never did We send a message before you but
through a man, whom We inspired. If you do not know, then ask the keepers of the oracles of God.

Ayat 8 - We did not make their bodies immune to
hunger, nor were they immortal.

Ayat 9 - Then We made Our promise good to them and
delivered whomsoever We pleased, and destroyed the transgressors.

Ayat 10 - We have sent down to you a Book which has a
reminder for you. Do you not understand?

Ayat 11 - How many habitations that were sinful have
We demolished utterly, and raised other people after them.

Ayat 12 - Whensoever they sensed Our punishment they
fled from them.

Ayat 13 - "Do not flee; go back to your halls of
pleasure and your habitations, so that you may be interrogated."

Ayat 14 - "Woe, alas," they said, "we were really
sinful."

Ayat 15 - And this remained their lament till We
mowed them down and made them extinct.

Ayat 16 - We have not created the heavens and the
earth, and all that lies between them, out of fun.

Ayat 17 - If We had pleased to make a plaything We
could have made it Ourself, if We had cared to do so.

Ayat 18 - In fact We strike the truth against the
false, which shatters it, and it disappears. Woe to you for what you attribute (to Him)!

Ayat 19 - Whosoever is in the heavens and the earth
belongs to Him; and those who are near Him do not disdain to worship Him or weary (of His service),

Ayat 20 - Nor cease to endeavour praising Him night
and day.

Ayat 21 - Or have they taken gods from the earth who
can raise the dead?

Ayat 22 - Had there been gods apart from God, both
(the heavens and the earth) would have been despoiled. Much too glorious is God, the Lord of the mighty throne, for things they
assert!

Ayat 23 - He cannot be questioned about what He does,
but they will be questioned.

Ayat 24 - Have they taken gods besides God? Say:
"Then bring your proof. Here is the Book of those who are with me, and the Book of those who have gone before me." But most
men do not know the truth and turn away.

Ayat 25 - We have not sent an apostle before you
without instructing him that there is no god but I, so worship Me.

Ayat 26 - And yet they say: "Ar-Rahman has begotten
a son." Too exalted is He! In fact, those (they call His sons) were His honoured votaries.

Ayat 27 - They did not precede Him in their speech,
and acted on His command.

Ayat 28 - He knows what was there before them and
what came after them; and they did not intercede for any one but whom He willed, and they were filled with awe of Him.

Ayat 29 - If any one of them said: "I am God besides
Him," We should award him Hell; for this is how We requite the evil-doers.

Ayat 30 - Do not these unbelievers see that the
heavens and the earth were an integrated mass, then We split them and made every living thing from water? Will they not believe
even then?

Ayat 31 - We placed stabilisers in the earth so that
as it revolved with them you lived undisturbed; and We provided passageways between them so that men may find their way;

Ayat 32 - And We made the sky a well-protected roof.
Still they turn away from His signs!

Ayat 33 - It is He who created night and day, the sun
and the moon, revolving on its orbit.

Ayat 34 - We have given no man everlastingness before
you. So then if you die, will they live ever after?

Ayat 35 - Every soul will know the taste of death. We
tempt you with evil and with good as a trial; and to Us you will return.

Ayat 36 - But when the unbelievers see you they make
fun of you (and say): "Is this the one who mentions your gods (deridingly)?" Yet in Ar-Rahman they disbelieve!

Ayat 37 - Man is made of inordinate haste. We will
show you Our signs, then you will not desire to hasten (the punishment).

Ayat 38 - Yet they say: "When will the promised
threat come to pass, if you speak the truth?"

Ayat 39 - If only the unbelievers could apprehend the
moment when they would neither be able to ward off the fire from their faces and their backs, nor help reach them!

Ayat 40 - It will come upon them unawares confounding
them, and they will not be able to keep it back, nor will they be given respite.

Ayat 41 - Many apostles have been scoffed before you;
but they who scoffed were themselves caught by what they had ridiculed.

Ayat 42 - Say: "Who guards you from Ar-Rahman by
night and by day?" Yet from a mention of their Lord they turn away.

Ayat 43 - Or do they have lords of their own besides
Us who can defend them? But they are not able to help themselves, nor can they find protection against Us.

Ayat 44 - We allowed them and their fathers time to
enjoy till the very end of their lives. Do they not see Us advancing into the land, reducing its frontiers? Would they still
prevail?

Ayat 45 - Say: "I am warning you by God´s command."
But the deaf do not hear the call when they are warned.

Ayat 46 - Even if a whiff of the Lord´s chastisement
were to touch them they would surely say: "Ah woe, alas, we were surely sinful."

Ayat 47 - We shall fix the scales of justice on the
Day of Resurrection, so that none will be wronged in the least; and even if it were equal to a mustard seed in weight We shall
take it (into account). We are sufficient for computation.

Ayat 48 - We gave Moses and Aaron the Criterion, and
a light and reminder for those who take heed for themselves,

Ayat 49 - Who are fearful of their Lord inwardly and
dread the Hour.

Ayat 50 - And this is a blessed reminder that We have
sent down. Will you then deny it?

Ayat 51 - We had earlier given Abraham true
direction, for We knew him well.

Ayat 52 - When he said to his father and his people:
"What are these idols to which you cling so passionately?"

Ayat 53 - They replied: "We found our fathers
worshipping them."

Ayat 54 - He said: "You and your fathers were in
clear error."

Ayat 55 - They said: "Are you speaking in earnest,
or only jesting?"

Ayat 56 - He said: "In fact it was your Lord, the
Lord of the heavens and the earth, who created them; and I bear witness to this.

Ayat 57 - I swear by God I will do something to your
idols when you have turned your backs and gone."

Ayat 58 - So he smashed them up to pieces with the
exception of the biggest, so that they may turn to it.

Ayat 59 - They asked (on return): "Who has done this
to our gods? He is surely a mischief-monger."

Ayat 60 - They said: "We heard a youth talk about
them. He is called Abraham."

Ayat 61 - "Bring him before the people," they said,
"that they may bear witness."

Ayat 62 - "Did you do this to our gods, O Abraham?"
they enquired.

Ayat 63 - "No," he said. "It was done by that
chief of theirs. Ask him in case they can speak."

Ayat 64 - Then they thought and observed: "Surely
you are yourselves unjust."

Ayat 66 - (So Abraham) said: "Then why do you
worship something apart from God that cannot profit you or do you harm?

Ayat 67 - Fie on you and those you worship besides
God! Will you not understand?"

Ayat 68 - They said: "Burn him, and save your gods,
if you are men of action."

Ayat 69 - "Turn cold, O fire," We said, "and give
safety to Abraham."

Ayat 70 - They wished to entrap him, but We made them
greater losers.

Ayat 71 - So We delivered him and Lot, and brought
them to the land We had blessed for all the people.

Ayat 72 - And We bestowed on him Isaac, and Jacob as
an additional gift, and made them righteous.

Ayat 73 - And We made them leaders to guide (the
people) by Our command; and We inspired them to perform good deeds and observe their moral obligations and pay the zakat; and
they obeyed Us.

Ayat 74 - To Lot We gave wisdom and knowledge, and
saved him from a people who acted villainously and were certainly wicked and disobedient.

Ayat 75 - Thus We admitted him to Our grace. He is
surely one of the righteous.

Ayat 76 - Remember Noah when he called to Us before
this. We heard him and saved him and those with him from great distress;

Ayat 77 - And We helped him against the people who
rejected Our signs as lies. They were a wicked people indeed, so We drowned them one and all.

Ayat 78 - (Remember) David and Solomon, when they
pronounced judgement about the field which was eaten up at night by sheep belonging to certain people. We were witness to their
judgement.

Ayat 79 - We made Solomon understand the case, and
bestowed on each wisdom and knowledge, We subdued the al-jibal (mountains) with David to sing Our praises, and at-tair (birds).
It is We who did it.

Ayat 80 - And We taught him the art of making coats
of mail to shield you from each other´s violence. Will you not be grateful even then?

Ayat 81 - We made tempestuous winds obedient to
Solomon which blew swiftly to sail at his bidding (with his ships) to the land We had blessed. We are cognisant of everything.

Ayat 82 - And many of the devils (We also made
obedient to him) who dived for him, and did many other things; and We kept watch over them.

Ayat 83 - (Remember) Job when he called to his Lord:
"I am afflicted with distress, and You are the most compassionate of all."

Ayat 84 - So We heard his cry and relieved him of the
misery he was in. We restored his family to him, and along with them gave him others similar to them as a grace from Us and
reminder for those who are obedient.

Ayat 85 - (Remember) Ishmael, Edris and Dhu´l-Kifl.
They were men of fortitude,

Ayat 86 - And they were admitted to Our grace. Verily
they were among the doers of good.

Ayat 87 - And (remember) Dhu´n-Noon (Jonah of the
fish), when he went away in anger and imagined We will not test him (with distress). Then he called out from the darkness:
"There is no god other than You. All glory to You; surely I was a sinner.

Ayat 88 - We heard his cry, and saved him from the
anguish. That is how We deliver those who believe.

Ayat 89 - (Remember) Zachariah when he called to his
Lord: "Do not leave me alone (and childless), for you are the best of givers."

Ayat 90 - So We heard him and gave him John, and
cured his wife (of barrenness). These were men who vied in good deeds with one another, and prayed to Us with love and awe, and
were meek before Us.

Ayat 91 - (Remember) her who preserved her chastity,
into whom We breathed a new life from Us, and made her and her son a token for mankind.

Ayat 92 - Verily this your order is one order, and I
am your Lord; so worship Me.

Ayat 93 - But they split up the order among
themselves; (yet) all of them have to come back to Me.

Ayat 94 - So he who does the right and is a believer,
will not have his labour denied, for We are congnisant of it.

Ayat 95 - It is imperative that a habitation We have
destroyed will not desist (from unbelief)

Ayat 96 - Until when the way is opened up for Gog and
Magog and they press from every elevated place,

Ayat 97 - And the certain promise (of Doom) comes
near. Then the eyes of unbelievers will be fixed in horror, (and they will cry:) "Ah, woe betide, we were indeed heedless of
this, and were oppressors and unjust."

Ayat 98 - Verily you and those you worship other than
God will be faggots for Hell; and come to it you will.

Ayat 99 - Had they really been gods they would not
have entered it: They will all abide in it for ever.

Ayat 100 - There will only be groaning for them, and
they will not hear any thing.

Ayat 101 - But those for whom a good reward had been
fore-ordained by Us, will be far removed from it,

Ayat 102 - And will not hear its hissing, and will
live for ever in the midst of what their hearts desire.

Ayat 103 - They will have safety from the mighty
terror, and angels will receive them, (saying:) "This is your day which had been promised you."

Ayat 104 - The day We shall roll up the heavens like
a written scroll, We shall revert it (to nothing) as it was before We first created it. This is a promise incumbent on Us; We
will certainly fulfil it.

Ayat 105 - We had prescribed in the Book of Psalms
after the reminder and admonition, that those of Our creatures who are good will in the end rule the earth.

Ayat 106 - Verily there is a message in this for
people who are devout.

Ayat 107 - We have sent you as a benevolence to the
creatures of the world.

Ayat 108 - Say: "This is what has been revealed to
me: ´Your God is one and only God.´ So will you bow in homage to Him?"

Ayat 109 - If they turn away, tell them: "I have
warned you all alike. I do not know if what has been promised you is near or far away.

Ayat 110 - He knows surely what you say aloud, and
what you hide within your breasts.

Ayat 111 - I do not know if this be a trial for you,
or a little advantage for a while."

Ayat 112 - "Judge in truth (between us), O Lord,"
he said. "Our Lord is merciful, whose help we seek against what you attribute."
